Update: original text conflating Zygon Dragon and agentorangeguy as the same person, has been amended. Apologies for the error.

And fans of quality, role-playing heavy computer games rejoice. The U6 remake will use the excellent Exult engine that brought Ultima VII to modern computing hardware. A few days ago, webmaster, Zygon Dragon, posted the following status report:

Worked on a little bit of usecode from Moonglow and Paws recently. After Paws is completed, that’s all the towns and cities except for the Gargoyle city as far as npcs go!

Love it or hate it, Facebook can be a much easier way to interface with fans, deke out spam, and grow interest in new, and interesting projects than a dedicated website. Case in point: since 2011, Zygon Dragon updated fans via the old realmofultima page, often at a clip of 2 or 3 times per year. Despite being open for less than two weeks, Ultima VI The False Prophet Exult Remake Facebook page has already been updated a handful of times.

Ultima fans and enthusiastic makers, encourage Zygon. Let's turn what, for years, appeared to be a dormant project into a beta. The Avatar's the limit.
